Its not like Democrats (or Liberals in Canada) have had nothing to do with the war on drugs. Of course they didn't lash out as badly as republicans, but they still contributed.

I don't think the war on drugs is as simple as one side winning and one side losing. The government has been lashing out for years and years against recreational drug users, and we are still around, so in that sense they have lost. But they have done us (and the rest of the world) a lot of damage along the way.

*sigh* What a waste of money that could have gone towards something valuable.
